:TIMebase Commands
The :TIMebase commands are used to set the horizontal system. For example, enable the delayed sweep,
set the horizontal time base mode, etc.
Command List:
 :TIMebase:DELay:ENABle
 :TIMebase:DELay:OFFSet
 :TIMebase:DELay:SCALe
 :TIMebase[:MAIN]:OFFSet
 :TIMebase[:MAIN]:SCALe
 :TIMebase:MODE
 :TIMebase:HREFerence:MODE
 :TIMebase:HREFerence:POSition
 :TIMebase:VERNier
:TIMebase:DELay:ENABle
Syntax
:TIMebase:DELay:ENABle <bool>
:TIMebase:DELay:ENABle?
Description
Turns on or off the delayed sweep; or queries the on/off status of the delayed sweep.
Parameter
Name
Type
Range
Default
<bool>
Bool
{{1|ON}|{0|OFF}}
0|OFF
Remarks
Delayed sweep can be used to enlarge a length of waveform horizontally to view
waveform details.
Return
Format
The query returns 1 or 0.
Example
:TIMebase:DELay:ENABle ON /*Enables the delayed sweep.*/
:TIMebase:DELay:ENABle? /*The query returns 1.*/
:TIMebase:DELay:OFFSet
Syntax
:TIMebase:DELay:OFFSet <offset>
:TIMebase:DELay:OFFSet?
Description
Sets or queries the offset of the delayed time base. The default unit is s.
Parameter
Name
Type
Range
Default
<offset>
Real
-(LeftTime - DelayRange/2) to (RightTime -
DelayRange/2)
0
Remarks
LeftTime = 5 × MainScale - MainOffset
RightTime = 5 × MainScale + MainOffset
DelayRange = 10 × DelayScale
Wherein, MainScale indicates the current main time base scale, MainOffset indicates
the current main time base offset, and DelayScale indicates the current delay time base
